Default London Tube Strike

Reported in LBC News.


[London Underground staff will
strike for 24 hours following the
Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.
On Monday (June 6), around 4,000 station
staff have been called to walk out over
redundancy and pension disputes,
with much of London expected to be affected.]



The Mayor of London has said
work at home, if you can.

On LBC Live

People are getting crushed on busses
as no tube train, people trying to get to work, overflow.

And the Rain in London
is making it all worse.
